New Homes in Elgin TX: Bastrop County Communities Compared
This page compares the Elgin-area communities on the Bastrop County side of Elgin. On October 30, 2026, three of them had new and recently built homes for sale on the MLS: Trinity Ranch, Harvest Ridge and Larson Crossing. Two more, County Line and Saratoga Farms, are newer resale neighborhoods close by. Every listing in all five names Elgin ISD. The utility district, the city limits and the county line change the yearly tax bill as much as the price does, so the communities are side by side here before you start touring.
Harvest Ridge and County Line both sit at the Bastrop–Travis county line. Most of their homes for sale are on the Bastrop County side, but check the appraisal record for the address you are buying.

Utility districts, city limits and taxes
| Community | District and city status | Source |
|---|---|---|
| Trinity Ranch | Elgin MUD No. 2 (some later phases in Elgin MUD No. 1); outside Elgin city limits. 2025 MUD rate $0.95; combined rate about $2.81 per $100 | Elgin MUD No. 2 official statement, 2026 |
| Harvest Ridge | Altessa MUD, inside Elgin’s limited-purpose city limits. 2025 MUD rate $0.83; combined rate about $2.69 per $100 on the Bastrop County side and $2.75 on the Travis County side | Altessa MUD official statement, November 2025 |
| Larson Crossing | The Bastrop CAD record for a lot on Eagle Valley Drive (platted as Primavesta Subdivision Phase 1A) lists City of Elgin tax and no MUD or PID; total rate about $2.57 per $100 | Bastrop CAD record |
| County Line | Bastrop CAD records for three Bastrop County-side parcels list City of Elgin tax and no MUD or PID; 2025 total rate about $2.47 per $100. Travis County-side lots are on Travis CAD | Bastrop CAD records |
| Saratoga Farms | MLS listings show public sewer and name no MUD or PID; check the Bastrop CAD record for the lot | Unlock MLS listings |
One lot is not the whole community, so look up the exact address on Bastrop CAD (or Travis CAD for a Travis County-side lot) to see every taxing unit. My MUD and PID guide explains how these districts work.
Schools named in MLS listings
Every listing in these five communities names Elgin ISD, Elgin Middle School and Elgin High School. Elementary schools as named in MLS listings: Elgin Elementary for most Trinity Ranch listings and for Saratoga Farms; Harvest Ridge Elementary for Harvest Ridge and Larson Crossing; and Neidig Elementary for most County Line listings. Confirm the campus for the address with Elgin ISD, because attendance zones change as new schools open.
What to check before you buy
- The tax bill, not just the price. A MUD or a city tax can move the yearly bill by thousands of dollars on the same price. Ask the builder for the MUD or PID notice and the current rates for the address.
- The county and appraisal district. Harvest Ridge and County Line cross the county line, and a few MLS listings carry a county tag that differs from the official records, so look the address up on Bastrop CAD.
- HOA dues and fees. MLS shows the same dues in different ways (yearly, quarterly or monthly). Get the resale certificate or the builder’s HOA disclosure and ask about transfer fees.
- What is open today. Several builders describe pools and amenity centers as planned or future. Ask what is finished and what is promised in writing.
- Flood information. Check the exact address on the FEMA Flood Map Service Center.
How I help Elgin new-construction buyers
I compare builders on the same terms: base price, included features, lot size, incentives and whether they depend on the builder’s lender, the warranty and the full tax rate. Many builders require your agent to be registered at your first visit, so call me before you stop by a sales office if you want me to represent you. A builder may agree to pay your agent’s compensation; confirm that in writing. Bring my questions to ask a builder, and read new construction vs. resale if you are weighing a newer resale home in County Line or Saratoga Farms too.
